Topic: Wisdom Teeth Extraction (Read 10820 times)

Few days ago, I went out to a massage parlour. I have a french kiss with the girl for about 40 minutes, but I don't know if there is any blood during our kiss. The day later, I found out there is a small white cut in my mouth. I don't know her dental health, but I don't notice any taste of blood during our kiss. And after that, she masturbating me.

Recently, I read in a forum that mouthwash can reduces the enyzmes in saliva. Is this a problem ? Because I was using mouthwash about 45 minutes before we start kissing.

I know this a very similar question, but I really need you to give me an answer.

Just for additional information, I am 22 years old, and I have not having any sex activities. A few handjobs is the only sex activities I've ever have. This is why I felt so stupid when I get this HIV anxiety.

So, I can live my life without any worries of HIV, right ? I wonder why that forum tells that we need to avoid using mouthwash before and during oral sex. Is there any explanation ?

I don't know which other forum you are referring to. But I think there is somewhere in that the misbegotten idea that mouthwash kills your saliva's natural ability to prevent oral transmission of HIV. 'Taint so.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

I know I have my own anxiety, needlessly anxiety. Sometimes I can walk through my fear, but sometimes I got trapped in my own anxiety.

Thank you Andy, RapidRod, and Ann. You guys are such a great people.

One thing that stuck in my mind right now is what if the kissing made a cut in my mouth, and it was bleeding when we kissed. Stupid right ? I remember that I don't feel any taste of blood, but my own anxiety has created such negative mind. And it is still a zero risk right ?

I will try my best to live my life without any worries. Thank you guys, really. Thank you so much.

Javelin, there is absolutely no need for testing. You didn't do anything that put you at risk. Really.

Very often along with being exciting, becoming sexually active can also be very anxiety provoking. And it's also understandable that you don't know everything. In terms of sex, you're going to be on a learning curve all of your life. Really.

The important thing to always keep in mind as far as sexual risk for HIV transmission is to always without exception use condoms when you have either vaginal or anal intercourse. Right now that may not be happening for you, but it's likely you will get there. And when you do, just remember to use a condom everytime. No exceptions, no matter what you think you know about the health and sexual history of anyone you maybe with. A condom is a must. They provide very effective protection against HIV.

As far other sexual activities and HIV, the risks are strictly theoretical. In the real world of HIV science, we know that the only confirmed means of sexual transmission of HIV are unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse.

Right now you're good to go and don't have to worry any further or get tested.

Even with herpes, kissing is NOT a risk for hiv infection. Not only is saliva not infectious, but it also contains over a dozen different proteins and enzymes that damage hiv and render it unable to infection.

Kissing is NOT a risk for hiv infection - end of story. Not one person has ever been infected through a kiss and you certainly are NOT going to be the first.If you read the Welcome Thread before posting like you're supposed to, you will have read the following posting guideline:

There's no way a condom would break from being inserted into a vaginal for two seconds.

You did not have a risk. Condoms have been proven to prevent hiv infection.

You need to be using condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, every time, no exceptions until such time as you are in a securely monogamous relationship where you have both tested for ALL sexually transmitted infections together. To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with an STI. Sex without a condom lasts only a matter of minutes, but hiv is forever.

Have a look through all three condom and lube links in my signature line so you can use condoms with confidence.

ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT NEED TO TEST OVER THIS SPECIFIC PROTECTED ENCOUNTER, anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.

If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results. Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than hiv.

Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!

NO, it does not change your NO risk situation. Sex workers who use their mouth to put a condom on a penis know what they're doing. It's a common practice. And remember, sex workers use condoms to protect THEMSELVES, not you. She's not going to put herself at risk by putting a condom on you incorrectly or by damaging it with her teeth.

You have absolutely NO reason to be scared. The condom covered the head of your penis and that is what's important. Please don't go on and on about this latest no risk situation like you did last time. You had NO RISK and that's that.

1. I am wearing a condom, and i know it did not broke since when i cum, i see no semens come out from the condom (i cummed outside). but you know, my paranoid minds wont allow me to think positive, it always make me thinks the "what ifs".

2. I don't know if my penis inserted or not. I think my penis haven't got inserted yet, and i pull it after 2-3seconds. but the girl said that my penis had inserted for half. here is where i confused, how can i did not feel when my penis is inserted ? or this is just her words so i have to pay for a intercourse price ? (in fact i did not feel that was an intercourse)

3. she said she is clean. and she said that if there is any problem, i can contact her and she gives me her number. does that means i can trust her words ?

how was it Ann ? final opinion please ? thanks

*one thing, she used body lotion or some massage oil in penis before she puts the condom. did it make any difference ? because i just read that some body lotion can break the condom more easily. thanks

Sorry to post again, but now on the 6th day, i am having a sore throat. i am scared.

Just want to ask, if i already put my penis inside her vagina, i should have feel them right ? because i think i have not put it inside, but she said it was in. And if the condom broke, i should feel it broke right ?

Hi guys, i am deeply sorry for coming back to this forum. Just a simple question, I think my gum sometimes easily bleeding, and I remember I had deep kissed few massage girl. Should I be concerned for this ? Thank you.

By now you ought to know the basics about sexual transmission of HIV. It's all about unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse. If you consistently use condoms for those activities you will be well protected from HIV. It's just as simple as that.

Anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning a conclusive negative result orno-risk situation, will be subject to a four week Time Out (a temporary ban from the Forums).

You didn't have any risk. Of course your test result is going to be negative.

We are not going to indulge you forever and everytime you have sex of some kind. The only thing you have to be concerned about is to always use a condom for vaginal or anal intercourse. If you do that consistently you will be well protected. Everything else sexual is only risky theoretically. It's as simple as that.

Apply that information to whatever you do in the future. You aren't going to be allowed to come here everytime you have sex with another series of anxious questions.

And I'm disappointed that despite being told not to before, I've had to merge your threads again. I've merged your new thread into your original thread - where you should post all your additional thoughts or questions. It helps us to help you when you keep all your additional thoughts or questions in one thread.

And I'm also disappointed that despite being told and told and told again that kissing is not a risk for hiv infection, you're back here to ask about kissing again. Get a grip and get with the program already. Kissing is NOT A RISK no matter what sort of details you can come up with.

If you insist on coming back with more kissing questions, you WILL be given a second time out. Seriously. You've been warned.
